I will try to summarize my own experience to some of these points:

Run-time performance: Difficult to say. I developed a few small applications which are running live without problems. But for really complex RIAs you have here the same performance problems like with every other framework.

version upgrades: At regular times. As far as I can judge this. And there's a good chance that a bug you report is fixed with the next version. Or you will be informed in which version...

component library compatibility: In my opinion very good. Maybe somewhere in the doc is a list...

IDE support: Look here http://www.jboss.com/products/devstudio/ No problems since the first beta...

(However I'm not sure whether which all frameworks can be integrated with Seams).
